Lindel Hart is a certified yoga instructor working in the tradition of B.K.S. Iyengar. Through his focused sequences of poses and individualized instruction, he conveys his knowledge and experience of yoga to beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Lindel infuses his teaching with compassion, joy, enthusiasm, and humor, emphasizing anatomical integrity and a constant dialogue between mind and body. Through the practice of yoga he encourages students to explore and deepen their connection to themselves and to whatever they regard as divine.

Lindel likens yoga to a river: every person steps into the water at a unique place, joining the flow with a distinctly individual perspective. In this sense the journey has no beginning and no end, only an expanding and deepening awareness of the movement of life.

He has studied extensively with Carrie Owerko (Iyengar Yoga Institute of New York) and Marilyn Hart (Green River Yoga and Movement Arts, Greenfield, MA), and completed his teacher training with Eileen Muir (Karuna Center for Yoga and Healing Arts, Northampton, MA). He has also studied with Rodney Yee.

Lindel formerly taught in New York City and has taught classes and conducted workshops at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, the Martha’s Vineyard Yoga Festival, the Nantucket Yoga Festival, Karuna Center for Yoga and Healing Arts, Green River Yoga and Movement Arts and BYS Yoga (Pittsburgh, PA). He has taught at Northfield Mount Hermon and currently teaches yoga at Deerfield Academy. Lindel is available for private instruction.

Lindel lives in Greenfield with his husband Rod and their 7-year-old son. And completely unrelated to yoga, Lindel and his family have appeared twice on The Real Housewives of New York City.
